Abstract

Groundwater is the main water source that is most widely used in the world, one of which is in Indonesia. One of the uses of groundwater is for consumption needs. Therefore, the groundwater used should have good water quality. For this reason, this study aimed to determine groundwater quality in Indonesia during the dry season and make recommendations for groundwater management policies. A total of 211 groundwater samples taken from springs, drilled wells, and dug wells spread across volcanic areas on the islands of Sumatra, Java, Bali, and Sulawesi were collected to test their quality in this research. The method used in this research consisted of 4 analyses: WHO threshold analysis, Piper Diagram, Water Quality Index (WQI), and statistical correlation and regression. Based on the analysis, it was discovered that 47 K+ samples, 1 Na+ sample, 5 Ca2+ samples, 1 Cl- sample, 115 HCO3- samples, 3 TDS samples, and 3 pH samples exceeded WHO standards. The results of the Piper triangle diagram analysis showed that the majority of groundwater in Indonesia falls into the Unpolluted Groundwater classification (categories D and G), and the results of the WQI analysis also showed that 98% of the groundwater in Indonesia analyzed falls into the excellent and good water categories. The results of statistical analysis of the parameters K+, Na+, Mg2+, Ca2+, SO42-, Cl-, HCO3-, TDS, and pH showed that all these parameters are strongly and positively correlated with the WQI value.

Abstract

With its abundant groundwater potential, East Java faces a growing risk of contamination due to rapid industrial growth. This study assessed groundwater quality in four regional groundwater basins (GWB) using the Water Quality Index (WQI), water quality standard comparison, Piper diagram, and hydrogeochemical ion analysis. The WQI analysis revealed that 59% of the samples were classified as excellent and good for consumption, predominantly found in volcanic, river alluvial, and limestone hill areas. In comparison, 11% were unsuitable for consumption due to contamination, particularly near coastal, industrial, and agricultural zones. The Piper diagram showed that most groundwater samples were unpolluted, reflecting the natural interaction between groundwater and surrounding lithology. However, ion standard comparison identified samples exceeding acceptable ion levels, and ion correlation analysis confirmed contamination from industrial, agricultural, anthropogenic, and municipal wastewater activities. These findings highlight the need for targeted groundwater management, particularly in areas vulnerable to contamination.
